ile U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
MILD CURING 
Operations in the salmon mild-curing industry were on about the 
same scale as in the preceding year. As usual, the bulk of the product 
was prepared in southeast Alaska, partly in conjunction with other 
branches of the fisheries, while the western district contributed a 
limited output. 
The registration by the Bureau of folie boats in southeast Alaska 
was incomplete, and it has been necessary therefore to estimate, in part, 
the total number operated. 
Twenty-one plants were engaged in the industry and 1,513 persons 
‘were employed, as compared with 24 plants and 1,465 persons in 1935. 
The total production of mild-cured salmon was 4,483,200 pounds, 
valued at $798,564, an increase of 40,800 pounds in quantity, and a 
‘decrease of $75,129 in value, from the output of the previous year.
